Hi again Barbara,

Thanks again for the reply. I replaced all the printer drivers on all net NT machine. That didn't work. Do you have any other ideas. I thought about do a regular report form instead of a label. Do you think that will work?

Thank's again
RD


>Two possibilities here. First, if the print driver being used is different from the one on the development computers, or they have different OSs, the difference in the way the form is laid out could be just enough to be too big for the page. Second, if you are correct and VFP is selecting the wrong printer, you can fix this by clearing out the contents of the Tag and Tag2 fields of the first record of the FRX, plus anything you don't need in the Expr field.

>>I have several labels that will print fine on the two development computers that we use both running NT4 w/s sp6. When I build the exe, the win95 boxes can print the labels however my winNT4 w/s can't print them except for the development computers. The error that I get is the "Detail band is to large to fit on the paper". I'm thinking that there is a dll or something that I'm missing when I do a build. Or FP is setting the output to the default printer (which is not the label printer) before my users are selecting the correct printer. I have a lot of reports that I print landscape to the default letter printers they all print fine. The label printers that we use are Eltron TLP2242 and Eltron Eclipse-Direct Thermal.
